[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] LordDeath:
here in the forum is a guide to do this.

they replace the drivers from "pocket pc usb sync" with older ones for windows xp. afaik a ppc in booloader-mode is recognized by the pc as "pocket pc usb sync".

but this does not work with vista x64, because most (or all?) custom roms use some 16bit applications - these are not compatible under a x64 OS
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] MaRyNoFear:
Same Problem - Stuck with XP

Tried varius way to make it work under Vista.

Did also follow the guide. Downloaded the correct driver etc.

Conclution.

Could not get it to work under Vista32bit DK.

Tried to install VMWARE also here I failed becuse I use BlueTooth keyboard and mouse.

Still have to go to one of the older computers in house with XP.

Maybe one day were lucky and someone will cpme up with a propper solution.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
Still it doesn't work for all RUU's, but the complete ones do. I have experimented a bit on this issue. It isn't so much a problem with the RUU "engine" but the way the nk.nbf is built. I didn't manage to extract it and compare.

by the way, you need to change the drivers with the "old" ActiveSync 4.5 ones in all cases. Without these it doesn't work with any RUU. But the rest of the procedure doesn't make the difference (in my experience). So, just change drivers and use one of the NVID RUU's you can find with "search" or google.

Yep, ofcourse you can still flash under XP, using VM or Dual Boot. But the question was have to achieve a succesfull upgrade using Vista.

But I agree that it is far more practical to focus on the methods that do work, instead on the ones that don't!

I try to flash this recovery version and I get a cannot load 'recovery image'?

This has been the error that I have been getting when I try to flash a different recovery?

I've tried the one click recovery installer which goes through the process and says that it has been a success but it's still 2.7.1.0?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Most probably your problem is Windows extension is hidden.

So when you write recovery.img it is actually recovery.img.img

Try with recovery only without .img extension or don't hide Windows extension so you can clearly see recovery.img not recovery.img.img

and if possible, avoid using any toolkit.

You just need adb/fastboot properly installed and HTC USB drivers.

*** This KERNEL ONLY SUPPORTS SAMSUNG TW ICS 4.0.4 ROMs (STOCK and CUSTOM). DOES NOT WORK IN CM or AOSP!!! ***

*** The Kernel is based on TW JB source which is safe ***

*** Still, I take no responsibility if the provided KERNELs causes any problem to your phone, you are warned! ***

Hello all,

I have been using all newer versions of rom for our "ancient but wonderful" G-Note. Still not quite happy and I missed the feeling of light and fast of the old ICS rom. The stock is not good enough, while the custom kernels most got pulled down and none supported trim, causing rom to slowdown after some time used.

So decided to make a custom ICS rom and kernel for myself. After many many testings with ICS kernel sources without feeling satisfied, I re-based to JB kernel source and wow! What a nice surprise. The combination made my Note flight!.

I feel extremely happy with it, my Note feel like a new device. So I share here with you:

Forest_ICS-Revival_TW-rom

Forest_ICS-Revival_kernel

KERNEL CHANGELOGS:

Kernel-V3:

- 1600 MHz OC CPU option, stock GPU

- Compile using uber toolchain

Kernel_V2:

- Reverse to stock CPU ang GPU

- Fix video recording

- improve battery life

Kernel_V1:

- GPU 3 steps (133-267-400)

- Enable OC CPU to 1600 (default). Allow to customize CPU voltage.

- PhilZ Touch recovery

- Exfat native support

- Trim support

- Various tweaks from Speedmod kernel

My favorite kernel governors and schedulers combination: SmartassV2+Vir or PegasusQ+Row

ROM FEATURES:

- Based on stock TW ICS 4.0.4: LR8

- Almost as stock. Removed lots of bloats apks.

- Add 14 toggles

- Call recording.

The room is extremely fast and responsive. It handle heavy games (such as Golfstar) like a breeze and also battery friendly. :good::good::good::good::good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Still nothing, and I just noticed Kernel Adiutor only shows 1 core, the second can't be seen so is it just a visual bug? Btw for the Interactive tunables, can these options be made editable?

go_hispeed_load

timer_slack

target_loads
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
I would suggest full wipe and reinstall the rom, or double check with other rom if there is hardware prob with the home key.

The one core active is a feature to save juice. when the load is high two cores will be active.

For interactive governor edit: if you use setcpu you can edit go_hispeed_load and some other values.

otherwise you need to edit the file: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_interactive.c in the source code.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Kernel Adiutor isn't showing the second core, so probably a bug or something. The options for the tunable listed isn't available, so I'll probably use an init.d script somewhere. I checked, other roms are okay with the home button. I'm able to manually enter recovery as well, probably some weird hardware problem on my end.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
I guess so. mines is working fine with the V1 kernel. Will wait for other feedback if it is indeed a problem. tks for the feedback!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
I forgot, there wasn't any lockscreen or swipe to unlock when pressing the power button, the entire thing was disabled and can't change lock types so I'm brought straight to homescreen. The home button will wakeup the screen but that's all, even the home softkey was unresponsive. Maybe I'll try to redownload a new zip or install via twrp.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
tks for informing. I look forward to further feedback after re-download.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Welp, redownload and reinstall from stock rom didn't help either. Each instances my lockscreen did not appear, I think some function might've got fried in my chips or something. Oh welp >.>
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
The symptoms looks like you have prob with either csc or efs folder.

- for CSC. you should flash the correct rom for your country/region. download from samfirmware. This issue is simple.

- if it still does not work, then it could be efs: need to have a back up of your efs folder to restore.

(btw my rom/kernel does not touch efs folder.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Thanks, I'll do a reflash/restore of those when I get the time. It could be my efs then, since I was using my country's stock rom.
